Many stations aired custom edits of that song to include the longer LP intro but without "sh-t". Most (including the one I
worked at) tacked the LP intro (sans "Threshold") on to the 45 version, but I recall hearing one station that edited the LP
to say "funky funk". ]]> Sat, 03 Aug 2024 05:36:40 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=726&PID=65033&title=steve-miller-band-jet-airliner#65033 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=726&PID=65032&title=steve-miller-band-jet-airliner#65032 Author: AndrewChouffi

I'm pretty sure there was no promo of the LP version with
"kicks" issued by Capitol at the time of radio promotion.

I know some stations created their own edits.

Keep in mind the 45 was a different mix than the LP. The
LP has keyboards of the previous instrumental over the
opening kick drum beats. The LP of course doesn't use the
word "kicks". The LP has the counter-melody crank guitars
come in earlier on the fade. And the fade is slower and
longer.

I'd like to know the answer to that one as well.

I wanted to mention; I'm not sure if the correct 45 version ever showed up on CD, but I was able to strip out the opening kick drum beats from the "Greatest Hits 1974-1978" CD version using one of the online extraction tools, and it worked beautifully...no artifacts at all and the two beats just spliced right back onto the intro flawlessly. ]]> Tue, 09 May 2023 07:54:36 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=726&PID=62993&title=steve-miller-band-jet-airliner#62993 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=726&PID=49290&title=steve-miller-band-jet-airliner#49290 Author: eriejwg

The proper 45 fade starts at 3:10 on "carry me to my home"
and ends at 3:20 on the word alone in "I'll be alone."]]> Tue, 08 May 2018 10:31:29 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=726&PID=49286&title=steve-miller-band-jet-airliner#49286 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=726&PID=49285&title=steve-miller-band-jet-airliner#49285 Author: sriv94

Actually the word "funky" is also resung to facilitate the replacing of the s word with "kicks." It may be that the whole line is resung, but that I'm not as sure of.]]> Tue, 08 May 2018 09:56:01 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=726&PID=49285&title=steve-miller-band-jet-airliner#49285
